Key Issues of Donald Trump’s Foreign Policy Legacy in Relations between the US and the European Union

This article describes and analyzes transatlantic relations during the presidency of Donald Trump; summarizes main problematic aspects of US-European cooperation in such important areas as economy, energy and security; indicates reasons of difficulties concerning the dialogue between the US and the EU and suggests a search for ways of further cooperation. The United States of America and EU-members have been allies since the beginning of the Cold War. However, the more the policy of the European Union becomes independent, the more White House seeks to increase its influence on the European region. Donald Trump’s presidency has exacerbated a number of already existing contradictions between the United States and the European Union in three main areas of cooperation. This article makes an assumption that the personality of Donald Trump is one of the key factors that complicate US-European relations, but not the only since the Russian factor and the desire of the European Union to become one of the centers of power on the world stage are significantly weakening the transatlantic relationship.
